I used to be a regular poster on these forums from 2000 to 2012. I probably wasn't the only one at the time but the whole Steve Kean/Venkys fiasco effectively killed my love for football. Besides the odd international game I completely switched off from the game and it wasn't until this past world cup that I started to keep an eye on Rovers results this season.

My question is, in those years that I've been away, has the structure of the club improved, or is it still the hot mess that Kean, Venkys and Anderson left the club in back then or do Rovers fans now have something to be proud of again?

Thanks in advance for any input.

his behaviour is disgusting, 50 odd grand a week and he cant even show up for training and he's hardly painting himself in glory for potential buying clubs. Get rid (and i was of the opinion that we should keep him)

I'd like to hear a huge benni mcCarthy chant at ewood this saturday, best way to let him and sam know how we feel about this situation.

Anyone heard the new cribs album, only given it one listen so far but it sounded really good, I'm off to see them at Leeds Academy next weekend.

it actually looked worse than scenes from football factory and green street. Shocking behaviour that has probably ruined englands chances of hosting the 2018 world cup, cheers d***heads

Anybody into this band, loving them myself, best thing from these shores in a long time.

Coming to your shores before they play Arizona, so anyone who goes a report would be good, PM me.

The Airbourne toxic event have been added as a strong rumour to leeds and reading, great news

I think the chances of us two liking the same films are remote at best. Surely the subject matter of the film is the most important thing not how many washed up appalling actors you can cram into it?

I'm exaggerating obviously, of course subject matter is important but a film doesn't have to be oscar worthy for it to be enjoyable. Its fun to watch something you dont need to think about every now and again

i found out about stallones new film today, the expendables, it might just have the greatest cast of all time Mickey Rourke, Stallone, Schwarzenegger, Jet Li, Dolph Lundgren, Jason Statham, Ben Kingsley, Forest Whitaker, Eric Roberts, Robert Knepper (t-Bag from prison break) and david zayas (oz, dexter). It doesn't get much better than that, it doesn't even matter what the films about, plus check out this picture of stallone, this is what shape he's got himself in for the role http://www.aintitcool.com/node/39866

judging by the results and nominees of the grammys i take it that they are the american equivalent of the brit awards. Who are the people who decide these things? Such poor taste, how can it be possible that a coldplay song is the best song released in an entire year?

it would be interesting to see the result if as well as choosing a party at an election you also had the option of legalising drugs or not, i think it would be pretty tight

yeah i've got tickets to see him at manchester apollo on his 50th birthday, hoping he does reading and leeds festival as well

anyone downloaded the new morrissey album yet, very good on first listen especially if like me your a fan of maladjusted

The only other forum I post on is a music one and they had a thread where we all posted our top 40 gigs of all time. Since I had an hour or so to kill, I thought I'd make the list. Would be interesting to see other people's and/or whether they were at any of these...

5. Daft Punk, O2 Wireless Festival, Harewood House, Leeds 2007

37. The Coral, Leeds University Union 2006

I was at these gigs, the Coral one was great best I've seen them and best band I've seen at that venue. I was blown away by Daft Punk, I went for Klaxons and just considered Daft Punk as an extra treat, little did I know it would turn out to be the most amazing gig I've ever seen, I still cant believe how good it was now.

Anyone looking forward to the new x files movie

Is anyone else looking forward to this film I have three loves and its blackburn rovers, morrissey and the x files, got every season and I can't wait for it to come out

i've been following this forum for the last five years and i have a lot of respect for the opinions i've read but i'm sure you'll all understand how angry i am at the england result tonight, i'm in thailand and before the match i spoke to a scottish man and said that it would be a joke if england qualified and scotland didnt but no way did i expect england to lose to croatia at home its beyond belief the only good thing that can come out of this is we get a good manager ie mourinho.

ps i never thought i would see the day that england would fail to qualify for a major tournament, its beyond comprhension, when this group was drawn i said to my friends that there was no point in watching this qualifying campaign because the group was too easy

An hour after this message i fell though a roof and broke my back
